Found animals

If you have found a cat or dog, please take it to our Animal Management Centre at 213 Queens Road, Kingston.

If you can’t take the animal to the Animal Management Centre, please call us during business hours on 07 3412 3412 to arrange collection.

It is important to report found animals to us because:

• the owner may be looking for it at the Animal Management Centre.
• the animal may be wearing a registration tag and we can contact its owner.
• we can scan for a microchip to identify its owner.

After-hours holding pens

If you find a cat or dog outside of our business hours, you can use our after-hours holding pens as a safe place to put the cat or dog.

The after-hours holding pens are located at the Animal Management Centre at 213 Queens Road, Kingston.

We check the pens every morning and afternoon on the weekend and every morning on weekdays.

We check all animals put in the pens for registration tags and microchips. We also add the animal’s photo to our Impounded animals webpage.

The after-hours holding pens are NOT suitable for sick or injured animals or wildlife. If you find sick or injured animals or wildlife, please see Sick or injured wildlife for more information.
